“I liked the way he played, and I liked Brett Favre before he left, and I love Aaron Rodgers, the coaching staff — the whole organization,” he said.

While Stone likely prepares for a lawsuit, we have to wonder if he deserved to be fired. Roberts says that Stone was “salting the wounds” and basically making it harder for hurt fans to sell cars. On top of that the dealership has actual ties with the Bears. Chicago announcer Jeff Joniak and several players drive loaners from Webb. And then there’s the matter of the dealership spending $20,000 a month advertising with the Bears.

So while my knee-jerk reaction was to rant about how ridiculous it is for someone to be fired for wearing a tie, I kind of get the feeling that everyone involved is a jerk. Of course, there’s always a possibility that this is a publicity stunt. I think they tried the same thing in The Goods.
